Customer Reviews

Very good, but a little dated
This book was published in the mid '80s, based on much earlier material. It shows. The description of women resembles more the overwrought females of an Ibsen play than the vast majority of women today. Even the depiction of men was a gross distortion for its day, let alone now. New problems, such as easy divorce, and single motherhood as a lifestyle choice, are not covered at all. So is this book overdue for honourable retirement?
Not a bit of it! The advice Anne Dickson gives to women to allow themselves to have a full and satisfying sexlife is absolutely spot-on. Even the advice I got from it (as a mere man) was terrific - learning to ask my wife what and how she feels during lovemaking, and the importance of friendships.
Anne Dickson's writing style is good, so her book is an easy read. The exercises she recommends to her female readership look tailor-made to reinforce the points she is trying to get across.
If Ms. Dickson updates the book to reflect society today, it will deserve five stars.
